Description of problem: After finally being able to boot an fc7 kernel where the devices are referred to as sdx instead of hdx, I no longer have my swap that is usually mounted. Below is the mount detected using kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6. Adding 500464k swap on /dev/hdb3. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:500464k Adding 524280k swap on /dev/hda5vol/LogVol01. Priority:-2 extents:1 across:524280k I guess attaching /var/log/messages would reveal the errors encountered better. Basically swap does not work on my LVM. Swap on a /dev/sdb3 does however work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Working kernel - kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 No LVM swap kernel - kernel-2.6.19-1.2889.fc7 How reproducible: Get the working mkinitrd installed, mkinitrd-6.0.6-1 and then yum update the kernel onto the system. Reboot into the new kernel Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot computer 2. see various errors pass by relating to the filesystem on /dev/sda 3. detect no swap. Actual results: With kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 swapon -s Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/hdb3 partition 500464 76 -1 /dev/mapper/hda5vol-LogVol01 partition 524280 0 -2 with kernel-2.6.19-1.2889.fc7, no /dev/mapper/hda5vol-LogVol01 detected Expected results: For the LVM to mount Additional info: I really do not need the LVM swap partition but being that it was used previously, I figure that it is a bug.

Just a few keys to know what is relevent. I installed all the packages and the kernel would not boot. I erased the kernel. Dec 20 19:21:10 cornette-dell-hdb Erased: kernel Afterwards, I rebooted the system. The errors previous to that time are pretty much pre-successful installation of the kernel.
Shutting down while using fc7 kernel Dec 21 07:01:13 cornette-dell-hdb exiting on signal 15 Running the fc6 kernel: Dec 21 17:04:46 cornette-dell-hdb syslogd 1.4.1: restart.
THe new kernel still errors as the previous version. swapon -s Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sdb3 partition 500464 0 -1 [root@cornette-dell-hdb ~]# uname -r 2.6.19-1.2890.fc7
I still am not able to use the swap in the lvm. It does not mount. The lvm information is below. --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/hda5vol/LogVol01 VG Name hda5vol LV UUID vEHuGt-69GE-kVw8-1NJW-DoPv-SEXQ-hjXQth LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 0 LV Size 544.00 MB Current LE 17 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors 0 Block device 253:1 swapon -v /dev/hda5vol/LogVol01 swapon on /dev/hda5vol/LogVol01 [root@cornette-dell-hdb ~]# swapon -s Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sdb3 partition 500464 6452 -1
The LVM SWAP still does not work. Keeping bug as active. No new information.
The error is caused by bug 241288 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 241288 ***
